Alexandre Benjamin Navet is a multidisciplinary artist, where each work transports us into a colorful universe. He is inspired by his many travels and his daily environment to enrich his chromatic palette and expand his artistic vocabulary.
His powerful strokes with vibrant colors create enchanted universes and work a definitely contemporary spirit in the great tradition of decorative arts.
He graduated from ENSCI–Les Ateliers, the École nationale supérieure de création industrielle (2011).
‘Alexandre Benjamin reinterprets a style from the ’40s and ’50s in a very contemporary but also a very humorous way. His work is reminiscent of Jean Cocteau but with a totally unique approach.’1
His joyful work spans textiles and decoration, oil pastel frescoes, objets d’art, drawings, and watercolors. His exuberant illustrations recently transformed the façades and interiors2
